The association between bariatric surgery and extensive portal vein thrombosis: A case report
This case underscores the critical importance of early recognition and prompt management of portal vein thrombosis in post-bariatric surgery patients. By emphasizing the role of thorough perioperative DVT prophylaxis, including the use of heparin and sequential compression devices, this report not only aims to improve patient outcomes but also contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the prevention and treatment of PVT in the bariatric population. These insights may serve as a valuable framework for managing similar clinical scenarios in the future.
